As #Ukrainian Forces Grab #Russian Territory, the #Kremlin Maintains It’s No Big Deal
#Putin ’s muted reaction to the invasion of #Kursk , however, raises questions about what red lines the Russian leader really has—and whether Western hesitation to arm #Ukraine , a result of concerns about Russian escalation, was a strategic mistake.

By the way, #Putin announced the opening of the Army-2024 military-technical forum yesterday.
At this time, #Russian conscripts are being taken prisoner by the hundreds.
I wonder why the forum is not being held in #Kursk?

I wonder what the real impact on (some) EU countries would be, if this means for boycott exemptions were finally destroyed...
Far too many riches still keep flowing to Moscow as payment for #FossilFuels, thus the #EU is still partly financing #Putler's imperialist aggression on its declared "brothers" in #Ukraine.
I heard that only about 2,000 #Ukrainian soldiers are in the #Kursk region. This means 2.78 square kilometers per soldier to "hold" on average.
Sounds pretty thinly stretched to me.
OFC, the troops will be concentrated in convoys, but even so, how much longer can this admirable diversion continue.
More importantly, how quickly can the invading forces retreat to #Ukraine once the #Kremlin has redeployed enough troops to the region to repell this brazen attack?
